HLT 230 Diet Analysis Assignment Instructions
1. Record your food and beverage intake (actually write down what you consumed) for 3 consecutive days. List everything that you eat and drink and estimate the amounts (fluid ounces, ounces, cups, number, or appropriate size). If you eat candy or other snack foods record them so that your analysis will be accurate. I will not take off points for what is in your diet record. Your diet analysis needs to be an accurate representation of what you eat on a daily basis.
2. On any computer with internet access go to your Canvas account for this section. Access the e-book and click on one of the chapters, then click on the icon at the right hand side of the chapter that looks like a green apple with a plus sign in the middle. It is toward the bottom of the icon list so you may need to toggle down to see it. This is the “Diet and Wellness Plus” program that you will be using for completing part of diet analysis assignment.
